Fundraiser Virtual Academy

An online education service for gift officers

Welcome to the Fundraiser Virtual Academy

The Fundraiser Virtual Academy (FVA) equips major gift officers with the latest knowledge in and best-practice approaches to health care fundraising.

For frontline fundraisers, time matters—each minute can mean additional funds raised. And every gift officer has unique training needs depending on their role and experience. We created the FVA with this in mind.

The curriculum features a multifaceted approach to skill building in fundraising, management, business, and health care topics, and is completely customizable—students choose their own study paths based on their experiences, roles, and needs. Created in an online format designed for a visit-centric role, students can take lessons when they want, where they want.

The FVA is designed for major gift officers, but other development team members—including mid-level gift officers, grateful patient program administrators, and other frontline fundraisers—may also benefit from the content.
